Libre Freestyle Librelink using with Apple iOS - a warning if you have sensor failures

I'm getting my phone upgrade within the next month and I was considering switching to iPhone, how often do issues like this occur with the Libre app?

The only time I've ever had a problem with the LibreLink app was a couple of summer’s ago when there was a major update of the app and everyone just got a blank screen (I think maybe this was iPhones only). Since then I have had no app based problems, just dodgy sensors that lose signal. Abbot always replace them after a quick phone call.
 
This is the first time that I have been able to identify the iOS as the probable cause of any issues but it may have been lurking behind the scenes previously. I haven't used an Android phone since using the Libre system but I suspect the same apples there as Abbott also specify the phones and OSs with which their system is compliant. The list of compatibilities is buried within the Libre website but can be found at https://www.diabetescare.abbott/support/manuals/uk.html.
 
Why are you being so nice to Abbott. Can you imagine your headphones stopping working every time apple did an update. This such a simple device using standard Bluetooth. Abbott need to get their act together and stop making excuses. They are a billion dollar company making huge profits. Honestly I am tired of calling them every time a sensor misbehaves.
